Modern wageslavery is a fucking tragedy
Spending decades working companies that only see you as a resource, never achieving anything of significance, being around people who will backstab you the first chance they get
Last time I had time off I even felt like I smelled better because I wasn't stressed all the time

I have a hunch 4chan deliberately malfunctions email verification when your existing token has expired in order to get you to buy a pass. This keeps happening when I need to renew my email verification once a week.

About 10 years ago I became interested in learning Japanese. Mostly because of anime, I just wanted to know what the basic konoyarou/tasukete/urusai stuff meant so I could focus better on the show's plot.
The tsukkomi/boke comedy in anime involving unecessary physical/emotional violence never fails to amuse me. I don't watch much anime these days but I have become interested in Japanese culture.
The Miko shrine maidens, Shinto shrines themselves, Geisha, tea ceremonies, Onsen, no tipping in restaurants, general lack of DEI, and so on and so on. All things that I wish the US would adopt.
Thus I've been on a journey, for a few years now, to pass the JLPT N5. I've bought many books on this but it's always turned into a 5 minute study session followed by 30 minutes of youtube.
Result: I can read common kanji compounds like 野菜、電話、入口, without furigana now and from memrise practice I know pretty much all hiragana/katakana. However I just can't power through the grammar parts.
SO I've signed up here: https://www.tokiniandy.com/
It's $10 a month and my hope is that this course dumbs it down enough for me to stick to it for longer than 5 mintues a day. I know some N5 stuff now so I hope it can boost me to N4 level this year alone.
I don't mean to shill this course and I have no idea if it will even be worth it. However my plan is to post updates here every week or so and let you all know how it's going.
I hope that this will help other anons here struggling with learning Japanese. It's an amusing/mysterious high-context language (see honne/tatemae) but it will break you especially with grammar.
Still, the challenge can be quite fun. Which is why I refuse to drop it. Gonna start tomorrow (today?) night so stay tuned.

I've noticed that I'm always putting much more effort into my relationships with people than they put with me.
People don't even remember my birthday. I met this girl a few years ago who complained nobody remembered hers and I made the point to remember it, but when it was my turn, nothing.
Sometimes I feel like I don't even exist.

Is that it? No more personal computers?
Money isn't worth shit anymore and datacenters literally took all the hardware in the world, I need to work several months to afford a new computer
Life is so fucking shit in 2026, I hate it

Why aren't people having kids anymore? Is there any way birth rates can be raised or is this the new normal?
Imo people are having fewer kids because they're marrying and even dating less often. A lot of people talk about money, but there's the least of the problems.
50 years ago most high school kids dated, nowadays only a minority do. Nowadays we have a lot more virgins and people who never dated.
Standards are sky high and people have no patience for human interaction anymore, guys would rather watch porn over pursing sex. Simping is rampant, be it the guy leaving likes on instagram, the guy on tinder swiping on a million women without getting a match, or the guy on twitch sending money to his dream gamer girl.
Girls end up in soft harems where 10% of guys fuck most women, they are told they need to marry a multi-millionaire while being broke, they are told their normal boyfriends aren't good enough.

Post whatever comes to your mind
I saw this image and was wonder, is feeling like an outsider just the normal autistic experience? My earliest memory was feeling like an outsider when I started school. I've had this feeling my whole life

Don't you sometimes question reality? Like why does all this exist? Is God real? Who or what made God? Are our lives all that there is? We die and it's gone? Everyone we ever loved will just be gone one day? Nothing makes sense

I write down all of my dreams. but most of the time I can only manage to remember a few things about the dream so I decided to feed those dream snippets to chatgpt to see what it spits out.

I believe that the spirit of Anime Movies can be applied IRL in this End Times, at least one RPG game and 5 anime can represent it. These are EarthBound, Dragon Ball, Made in Abyss, Dr. Stone, Full Metal Panic & Evangelion.

Got this thread idea from @webpgoy
Have you guys ever tried learning Japanese - 日本語?
Back in the day I used to study it with the Genki and A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Grammar books

I'm just a Mexican but was it really the right thing to stop Eugenics in the US? Like god dam, I know so many friendly blacks who aren't criminals and wish ones like picrel would just disappear/be dragged to hell.

QUICK! take your pineal gland enhancing LSD and tell Hitler to fire up the moonbase laser beams and finally get rid of the shapeshifting lizard people!

What leisure activities do you all partake on the weekends? I gotta work on Saturday but I might go see a movie on Sunday if I get lucky and leave early today.


Could we finally see the war criminal get some justice for the Palestine Genocide now that the New York mayor has spoken out?
Or is the whole world really powerless to do anything about it?

@void how much free speech are you willing to permit regarding the use of profanity and racial slurs outside of clear racism?
On 4chan we usually got to go wild even outside of /pol/ and when you went full hitler you usually got a warning before a ban.
Obviously letting your site turning into stormfront 2.0 like 4chan isn't smart, it drives users away and destroys discussions.
Yet at the same time completely sterilizing everything defeats the purpose of anonymous posting here I think.
Also "tripfags" like myself should be held to higher scrutiny though since we can act as ambassadors for umigalaxy, right?
I'm asking because of the 4chan mod grapeape macking a mockery of 4chan just by posting the dumbest stuff on twitter lol.
Like I wonder if you should make different, more strict rules for registered users and relax them a bit for anonymous ones.
I'd be cool with that tbh. But if I made questionable statement (as anonymous while logged in) could the less strict rules apply?

Not urgent for the moment but I realized that long term this could get you in legal trouble and/or cause users to leave.

Inevitably at some point they are going to get notice of this site, and will definitely try to raid it and troll as is often done on 4chan. Although they might give up and get bored since the site is pretty small still. I hope the owner has some kind of spam protection method.
